My cheeks hollowed out as I sucked on him and swirled my tongue over the head. Aurelius gripped my hair as he thrust forward again and again. I moaned around him before pulling free. His cock glistened with my saliva, and I took a moment to admire it before I stood.
“Get on the bed. Now.”
He cocked an eyebrow. “Yes, my lady.”
In a matter of seconds, we were both naked, our clothes tossed in haphazard disarray around the room. I dragged my gaze over his naked body. Heat spread through me at the desire in his eyes.
“Come here,” he whispered, taking my hand. “I want you on my face.”
“Is that an order?”
“If you want it to be.”
He lay back, and I climbed onto him, lowering myself to his lips. I sighed as his tongue flicked across my clit. He dug his fingers into my ass cheeks as he pulled me farther down, urging me to ride his face. I rocked my hips back and forth, grinding my clit against him while he sucked and licked me. My body shuddered with desire and pent-up need.
This was what I wanted. Pleasure and passion. Carnal bliss that wiped away all thought and memory of his captivity. Even if it only lasted a few minutes, it would help. We could lose ourselves in this and forget the world for a time.
Aurelius’s tongue had me teetering on the edge, an orgasm threatening to engulf me already. He’d only been gone a couple of days, but it felt like years. It was a gulf of time and space that made me yearn for release in a way that basically sent all coherent thought spinning away, leaving behind nothing but a carnal need.
I gripped the headboard and rode his face faster. “Make me come, baby,” I murmured. “Make me come.”
Taking my words to heart, he sucked my clit with abandon. The pressure that had been building exploded. My hips spasmed as the waves of pleasure sent me into paroxysms of delight.
As the last shudder receded, I crawled down his body until his thick cock brushed against my entrance. I looked into his eyes, grinning.
Aurelius brushed my hair from my face and cupped my cheek. “God, I missed you.”
“Show me how much,” I whispered as I slowly lowered myself onto his cock, swallowing him inch by delicious inch.
He groaned as he filled me. The delicious stretch had my eyes rolling to the back of my head. A new climax began to build when he was fully seated inside me. The power of the emotion from having him there—not just with me but inside me—nearly brought me to tears.
Aurelius gripped my hips and began to ram up into me. I lost myself in the pleasure, giving my body over to him.
Clutching at his shoulders, I thrust my hips against his, riding him as he fucked me. Aurelius slid his hand from my hip to my clit, circling his thumb with just the right amount of pressure.
“Come for me,” Aurelius grunted, thrusting into me. A command.
The desire in his voice and his need to watch me give in to ecstasy finally sent me over the edge. An inarticulate moan burst from me as pleasure rocked through my body, sending shivers up and down my back. My pussy clenched around his cock as he continued to fuck me.
Aurelius cupped my breast and ran his thumbs over my nipples, a look of pure wonder on his face. I leaned forward and rested my forehead on his, never once taking my eyes away from his.
“Harder,” I panted. “Fuck me harder, Aurelius.”
He growled, and I could feel the low vibrations in my chest as he slammed himself upward into me, harder with each thrust.
“Fuck,” I cried. “I’m gonna come again.”
Aurelius wrapped his arms around me and pulled me tight against him. “I’m coming, too, baby.”
Seconds later, we both cried out in blissful release. I collapsed onto him, sucking in air. My body trembled with exhaustion and satisfaction. Aurelius stroked my hair and kissed me again. Unlike before, this was slow and intimate rather than hungry and desperate, and it made my heart flutter.
I snuggled against his chest and fell asleep almost instantly. No rest had ever been as sweet or as relaxing. I had Aurelius back. He was safe. He was here.

The insistent knocking at his chamber doors tore me and Aurelius from sleep. We sat up as thebang-bang-bangechoed through the bedroom. The knocking was so powerful it almost felt like the bed was shaking.
